But for one Eagles fan, the end of the game meant that a tribute was just beginning.

Eagles fan Ryan Banks noticed a man behind him spreading ashes on a seat after the thrilling finish. The man was Stephen DePaul, according to Philly.com, and the ashes belonged to his late father, who was a season ticket holder and died shortly after the Eagles won their first Super Bowl.

DePaul told Banks he wanted to spread the ashes on the field, but he was worried he would get in trouble with security. So Banks took the bag of ashes down to the front row of their section and asked security if he could spread the ashes. When the security guard turned away, Banks dumped some out.

"I didn't want to disrespect you, I just wanted to respect his father," Banks tells the security guard on the video. "That's all."

"The story was touching and it moved me," Banks wrote on Facebook. "I felt inspired and it motivated me to help this man finish what he started and have his pop's ashes touch the Eagles field. We were way too close and I would have appreciated if someone did the same for me. They told me no but I did it anyway. I have love for my city and the people in it and I have love for our football team and it's fans. Spread love."

Banks' video had more than 20,000 views late Tuesday morning.

During the Eagles' Super Bowl parade in February, multiple fans brought ashes of loved ones and scattered them along the parade route.
